On the subject of M. R. James, what modern writers do people feel are in the same tradition of writing as James? Are there any? I'd be inclined to say Robert Aickman, but since he's been dead for more than 20 years I'm not sure he qualifies as modern! Traditional ghost stories seem to ne out of fashion. One modern ghost story that I did think was extremely good was Tanith Lee's "Yellow and Red".
